Would he call Manchester City , Manchester FC? Senile, owl looking **** bag probably would thinking about it. Poor example there Galante old boy, must do better.
Bollocks is it. Hull FC reads as Hull Football Club. Leicester Tigers RFC reads as Leicester Tigers Rugby Football Club. Nobody is thinking about some poxy rugby league ****e. It doesn't exist outside of yorkshire. You're paranoid that the Rugby Club might be better known than the Football club.
No? Would he call Leicester City, Leicester FC? Possibly. Would he call Leeds United, Leeds FC? Possibly. Would he call Tottenham Hotspurs, Tottenham FC? Possibly. You all need to get over yourselves.
I would imagine a Leeds Football supporter would quickly Tell you it's Leeds United and not a rugby league team
I'm not paranoid about anything, particularly not the suggestion that the rugby club might be better known, I just don't think it's much to ask for the England manager to know what we're called. Mind you, he picks Townsend, so he's obviously a ****ing idiot.
So why does it seem to bother you all so much? A slight bit of laziness? Get a grip. Like I said, nobody outside of Yorkshire cares for Rugby League. Hull FC might well be bigger in Hull than the actual football club but nobody else knows who the **** they are.
One of us may have a rugby club that manages attendances close to its football team, but it certainly isn't in Hull.
Hull FC's most recent attendance was 10k, Hull City's most recent attendance was 16k. Leicester Tiger's most recent attendance was 17k, Leicester City's most recent attendance was 32k.
Just listened to it again and Im afraid i was Wong about woy. I'll Just put it down to the steam driven 1920's radio we have.. Headlines " Wed gets it Wong about woy on the wadio"
Hull FC's average attendance is 10,000, Leicester Tigers average is 22,850, they're much closer to you than FC are to us.
